[Skimmertalk] Skimmer Experiance: 160M and 10M

[Pete Smith]

Great data, Jamie - thanks.  You didn't by any chance record any of these 
sequences, did you?  We should be so lucky!

Would you be willing to share the stored CW messages you were using during 
those S&P contacts?  I'm trying to figure out what specific sequences might 
have led Skimmer to mistakenly identifying you as the runner.  When S&P, is 
it your normal practice only to send your call, and then only once?  Do you 
ever send it twice in a single response?

Do you happen to recall if any of these S&P contacts were made on the first 
call?

73, Pete
